I definitely wish they had these in stock; it would be a no-brainer. I am an instant gratification type of guy-still on the fence for the boot.

I am much the same way. But occasionally I have the willpower to go this route with an MTO, shoes, suit or whatever. In the end it is worth it. It will feel bad that you are out of pocket now with nothing to show for it, but when the shoes ship and you pay the balance, it will feel like you got them for half price. Plus the boots will arrive right in time for balmoral boot weather.
